I have a very specific scenario for a gun transfer and I want to play it by the book.
I told my Brother-in-Law who lives in WV about the VZ2008 and how I was going to purchase one in the fall. He has taken the initiative without asking me and purchased two of them which he had the intention of gifting me one. I let him know that I really appreciate the gesture but it would not be legal for me to accept it since I live in another state. I also let him know that I don't want a gift from him and would rather buy it because I do not want to complicate our relationship.
1. It is a given that I can own a VZ2008 in MD and it's considered a long gun.
2.It is a given that I cannot have him give me the weapon to possess unless it goes though an FFL.
3. It is a given that I can purchase a non regulated firearm like a long gun from a neighboring bordering state.
So the question is can I purchase the gun from him and perform the transfer at his FFL in WV when the gun arrives?
Or does he have to take possession of the firearm first though his FFL, then we have to go across the border into Maryland and transfer the gun to me to legally own.
Thanks in advance as I could not find an answer for this scenario.
